    Stupid cartoon for adults only...I mean it!

    Parents need to know that this show, making people dumber, is not for children. Show contains information turning people away from their brains and so on. Families can talk about why this show turns people away from school. Why do you think there's a talking dog and geniuses? Also, they can talk about why in an episode, Johnny gets badder. Why does he destroy a school?

    I rate this title iffy for age 7 and give it 1.0

    Annoying and obnoxious

    You've got to be 9 and younger to actually enjoy this show. Cartoon Network's shows seem to always be loud and annoying, and this one is no different. Johnny Test is a little iffy.
